Lecture 5 - Deflection DIM

1. The document discusses structural beam deflection theory including determining deflections using the double integration method, moment curvature relationships, and singularity functions. 2. Singularity functions provide a single expression for the moment function that is valid throughout the beam and are used for different beam loadings including concentrated loads, uniformly distributed loads, and couples. 3. Examples show using singularity functions to determine beam deflection equations and find slope and deflection values at specific points by double integration or using calculators to solve the deflection equations.

beams?
Deflection Diagrams and the Elastic Curve

Why is it important to check the deflection?


1. To provide integrity and stability of roofs
2. Prevent cracking of attached brittle materials
3. To ensure the occupants of a safe structure
4. Requirement in analyzing statically
